What to expect from Donald Trump's speech?
In a conversation with journalists, the President of the United States announced that withdrawal from the conflict may occur within “two, maybe three weeks”. At the same time, he ruled out that ending the war would depend on effective diplomacy. – No, they don't have to make a deal with me, Trump said, emphasizing that the United States can act regardless of Tehran's position.
Despite these assurances, in recent days the American president warned that military actions could be intensified if Iran does not accept the 15-point ceasefire plan proposed by the US. The key demands of this plan include Iran's abandonment of its nuclear weapons program, halting uranium enrichment, and full opening of the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted in an interview with Fox News that the United States sees a “finish line” in the conflict with Iran. – It won't be today or tomorrow, but it's getting closer – he assessed. Rubio also mentioned the possibility of representatives from both sides meeting “at some point,” although he did not provide details.
The statements underlined the U.S. administration's shifting and sometimes contradictory statements about how and when the war, now in its fifth week, might end, Reuters said.
